So, the two trucks i own are two 51 GMC100's- one is a 3 window and one is a 5 window. Both are long beds. This stay at home is playing with my mind because i change my direction of how i'm going to proceed daily!!!!!!!! Well, i've now come across a 54 Chevy 100 short bed project (2 actually) that is probably 70 % complete and done decently with me being able to finish it. I don't know much about the 54. I've looked at some pics and I'm throwing out to you guys and gals for any input you have pros/cons/personal preference of either. The price is pretty decent and then he throws in the fact he might be interested in a trade

thanks,

Barry

Decisions, decisions...it's all about personal preference...

Are you building them stock or modified?

How much further ahead will buying the 3100 put you with your end goal (you didn't say how complete your GMC's were)?

While AD trucks can be addicting, I recommend picking ONE truck and sticking with it until completion. Otherwise you risk becoming one of those nuts who has a yard full of old vehicles and never finishes any of them.

"Well, i've now come across a 54 Chevy 100 short bed project (2 actually) . . "

Is it a USA Chevrolet 3100 (3104 for pickup)
Or, is it a GMC or Canadian Chevrolet?

What engine does it have in it?
The engine serial number is pressed into the ledge in the block at the rear of the distributor.
